Liverpool face one hell of a fight if they want to sign Julian Brandt - that's according to reports today.

The 20-year-old German winger is said to have been scouted all season by the Reds, but the Daily Mail report that they are just one of a number of Premier League clubs chasing Brandt's signature.

It's reported that Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham have all recently had representatives at Leverkusen matches to watch Brandt in action, and a move could happen in the January transfer window.

Brandt has scored three goals and also has six assists in 22 appearances this season - and the Reds are in the market for a wide forward.
